We have restructured the curriculum and delivery of general chemistry for majors in the engineering disciplines. Starting in Fall 1994, a major curriculum revision focused on increased expectations for incoming students, a materials science approach to make chemistry relevant to the core of engineering programs, and the use of current technology both in the classroom and in the laboratory environment. This led to the construction of a studio-type classroom in which all factors are coalesced for a learning experience few universities can offer, especially for large numbers of students, about 1000 per academic year, in a core course.
